I am building mine in a water proof Integra box 10in wide 12in long 4in deep the acrylic the lcd is mounted in is bent at a 90 degree to slide down behind the top left and right post so the screen is held up in the air above all the boards all the wires will enter and exit the bottom to stop any water from wicking in down the cables over time or salt creep.
I will be putting a 5v PSU in the box to power the Arduino and temp probe's and possibly the Atlas stamps. I will try to run Ph1 for tank ph and Ph2 for the reactor ph and I have the Ec stamp and probe kit also just having problems getting them all to work at the same time. going to need some help on that soon. but I have the start so the journey has begun.

I am using thinking 2 ways of doing I could just have all power external and just bring it all in from bottom that would be very easy to do and clean look or I could use a small 12v PSU mounted on the inside of the case but running every thing on 12 threw the arduino makes it very hot so I was thinking 5 volt to run arduino and temp probe's all from a small psu inside the box I have one that is only a few inches that way every thing is on that and not running threw the arduino for power I have holes in the bottom for wire glands 3/8 size water tight that will hold all the temp and probe and what ever cables nice and tight.. :)

I have the temp 3 probes connected and are working so I have moved on to the next step for me to get tank Ph Reactor Ph and Salinity working I have tried and re tried and can not get them to work. when I use your test script you gave me about 2 weeks ago it loads up and the probes work fine soon as I go back to the Ferduino sketch nothing.. I have changed false to true on the main sketch page where it asks if you have any stamps.

I just read on a post here there is some thing on the stamp page I should change or activate to make the probes work?

In the tab Ferduino change:

boolean Stamps = false;


To:

boolean Stamps = true;


In the tab "Stamps" comment out the functions for second pH and ORP if you haven't stamp for it.

Fernando or anyone else are you using more than one stamp and using a Multiplexer I need to see an example of a working one I have green board and the Multiplexer chip is on its way to me in mail. I have seen your example picture but I want to see a working one if some one has one all ready made

Hi!

I used the multiplexer from Atlas for a long time in a breadboard.

Even Ferduino Mega have the 74HC4052 on board. Therefore the code is the same.

The wiring is exactly like my schematic.

Fernando on the atlas page here http://www.atlas-scientific.com/product ... rrier.html? they have a UART 4 chip board is this the correct board for your build I believe it is I just want o make sure before I go further this is the basic same set up you are talking about using the 74HC4052 chip I would like to try to make a home made board for this using the atlas board as a model and if it all don't go well I can still buy one later.
